MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 096: PYTHON

(Feature Comics 036, 1940)

What makes them a super-villain? Simply put, Python lives in a creepy castle somewhere in New York State and spends his time stealing the brains of great thinkers to wire up to his machine so that he can plunder their knowledge. And he decorates with the shrunken heads of his victims, and he has a surgically mind-controlled goon named Kreeper.

What is interesting about them? Aside form the above which is pretty solid villain stuff, the most interesting thing about Python is that he has absolutely no connection to snakes in any way. It just seems to be, like, his name? Wild stuff.
